its two. people are doing the order wrong and getting 288 or w/e.
PEMDAS. Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Add Subtract.
Parenthesis. (9+3) = (12)
48/2(12)
Exponents. None
Multiplication. 2(12) = 24
48/24
Division. 48/24 = 2.
Answer is two, anyone that says otherwise is stupid.

Incorrect. Multiply first.

Actually...

Because it's not clear whether or not the (9+3) belongs in the numerator or denominator. Most calculators and computers would not put that in the denominator without a second set of brackets around this and the 2, and thus would give 288. Nobody is wrong or right (unless they're saying something other than 2 or 288). The question is ambiguous. This isn't even about PEMDAS. Even with the correct order of operation, you can still get both answers depending on how you interpret the problem
I trust this guy.

Multiplication doesn't trump division though, and since you're working left to right with both multiplication and division it would be:
48÷2(9+3)
48÷2(12)
24(12)
288
in for more rage.
48÷2(9+3)
48÷2(12)
24(12)
288

exponents and roots
multiplication and division
addition and subtraction
Multi/division are on the same line, and it seems to make sense.
Notation is bad. Any math pretty much only uses lines for division.

Geez, i saw this damn thing on SC2 forums, its making its way everywhere like a virus...
either way answer is 2
either way answer is 2
yea, it makes perfect sense because it would make things that are equal unequal otherwise.
For example, dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by .5
If going left to right, you get the same answer, regardless.
If going Multi then division, you'd get a diff answer from an equivalent term.

Add dat ***in the parentheses. Nine plus three is TOTALLY twelve.
Multiplication/Division comes second, reading from left to right:
48÷2=24
Then, 24(12) is left. Answer obvious. It's like a gross, but, like, TIMES TWO. 288. The number of sex.
[+]
Ah, yea my bad. I'm rusty on the maths. I wasn't really thinking about it when I first glanced, I just divided 48 by 2 at first. The way it's written the answer is 2. After calculating whats inside the parenthesis the next thing to do is 2(12). If the 48 divided by 2 was written like a fraction then it would be 288.

48÷2(9+3) = 48x.5(9+3)
48÷2(12) = 48x.5(12)
Going multi > divison
48/24 = 2
Going left to right
24 x 12 = 288
Going w/ the equiv term
48 x .5 x 12 = 288
I'm going w/ 288, not 2
Left to right actually makes sense since multiplication and division are pretty much equal terms.
Going multi > division always is going to change your answer based on how you have the question written
For example, making those 2 equal equations have different answers.

Hasn't that been the case for a while now?
As for the OP, I can't make heads or tails of that problem. :/ I get 2 or 288, depending how I look at it.
